Description

Topics in Microeconomics is a module in intermediate microeconomic theory building upon the level 1 module 鈥業ntroduction to Microeconomics鈥� and providing the core foundation for more advanced studies. Its objective is to further develop an integrated microeconomic approach allowing students to understand how individuals, policy makers, and firms can use microeconomic tools to analyse and resolve problems. The module equips the student with sound theoretical tools and techniques appropriate for discussing issues such as investments, contracts, the impact of taxes, regulation, strategic interactions of market agents etc.

The topics covered will include: consumer theory, general equilibrium theory and economic welfare, an introduction to game theory, auctions, interest rates, investment and capital, uncertainty and aspects of contract theory (asymmetric information & moral hazard).
